Learn about evolution of electric aircraft in Vermont at BETA Technologies new production facility
Nov. 20, 2024 12:10 p.m.
BETA Technologies has invited Essex Rotary to hold its regular meeting at their production facility in South Burlington. The visit includes lunch hosted by BETA, a talk about the company, and tour of the production facility. Two separate events have been scheduled due to the need to limit the number attendees to 20 people per tour - the first on Nov 20 - and a second on Nov 21 (Thursday), if needed. If extra slots are available, they will be offered to friends and supporters of Essex Rotary. BETA Technologies was founded by Kyle Clark, an Essex High School graduate with an impressive resume. Recently Governor Scott hypothized that BETA could well become the innovation and manufacturing equivalent of Fab #9 - the IBM, now GlobalFoundries, chip fabrication faclity in Essex Junction. During our visit, perhaps we will meet Alia, the electric plane that is changing avaiation in the world.

The Essex Rotary Club is planning to host the annual Senior Lunch on December 7 at the Essex Fair Grounds. In previous years we have partnered with the Knights of Columbus but they will not be available this year. So, all the responsibility for the set up and hosting the meal will be ours.
On Tuesday December 6 from 9 A:M to 11:00 A:M we will need six to eight members to place table cloths on the tables, set out all the sugar, salt and pepper, and silverware plus be sure the room is set up to host approximately 200 seniors.
On Wednesday December 7 we will need twenty members to arrive by 9 AM to plate and distribute both the salad and desert. By 10:30 we will need an additional ten members to be prepared to plate the turkey meal and collect tickets at the door.
Clean up, as in previous years, will be from 1P:M to 2 P:M.
So, we will generally need "all hands on deck". Please indicate if you can help with this event so it can be a success. Please respond to me so I can be assured we will have adequate coverage.
